Are you numb to the attraction of the tracks?
We’re not here to capture an image, we’re here to maintain one. Every photograph reinforces the aura. … they are taking pictures of taking pictures—AI and the reinforcement of that which is thought to be seen

He looked me up and down briefly, hesitating, but nonetheless with a polite expression “do you work here?” “No. I don’t,” I said, “but I’m an artist too, you see.” Halfway through the sentence his expression changed, showing one of the finer un-British emotions, and simply walked off
As the morning settled in, he happened upon wide awakening; his gaze shooting through the glass and into the trees, his eyes at once closed in rest and wide open. Not observing—taking in, he thought. Moist and cold air brought in birdsong and the rustling of leaves as he widened the crack in the window. Without averting his gaze he seamlessly dropped into the chair and reached for the pen

Gamified identity
Beast that once seen/rendered visible turns into /appears as thing of beauty—contrasting the more obvious everything is great until you get up close. Everyone is nice until you get to know them, realise that they too are human and carry around shit in their intestines—thing of fairytales; beauty and the beast, etc. but extremified: it is only a beast before it is seen. Does a tree falling in a forest make a noise if nobody is there to notice it? Is a killer who never killed and never will a killer?
French epitome of cultured, yet lack of knowledge on and disinterest in culture beyond their borders?
Something about blandness/anti-design paired with higher price product quality etc
